Speed’s conviction about what others may consider gimmicks
all started at Leeds where he saw a 34-year-old Gordon Strachan defy age and
appear alert and ready to go every single time... Naturally he asked him the
secret of his success. “Eating bananas and seaweed,” came back the answer.
Throw in some good old-fashioned Welsh cawl (meat and potato soup), lots and
lots of vitamin supplements and special drinks for rehydration and Speed had a
diet that he would follow for the remainder of his football career.
